We’re excited by the implementation and will be sharing some more pictures, videos and more shortly.

PSSST? Heard of GTA IV????
April 29th, 2008
GTA IV, “the new open-world, action-driving video game released today around the world will easily “top last year’s record-breaking $300 million first-week sales of Microsoft and Bungee Studios’ first-person shooter “Halo 3″ â?? and all without a similar marketing bonanza or budget.Â
According to the AP report - ‘Grand Theft Auto’ Promo Campaign Kept Quiet’Â Rockstar has been trying to keep their marketing message on the “downlow.”
We’ve been truly impressed in Rockstar’s ability to communicate and build hype directly with gamers through viral internet teasers and low cost non traditional out of home media including amazing phony wanted billboards, graffiti, and viral websites. (Even Bagel Bags, Coffee Cups…)

Some of the ficitional wanted adverts have included in them an e-mail address where residents of “liberty city” (the game’s fictional universe) can send in “tips” to LibertyCityPolice.com, a website which undoubtedly will be accessible inside the game’s internet function.

From a marketing perspective all this has been absolutely brilliant. From a CFO’s perspective the campaigns have demonstrated the value of low cost non traditional media and most importantly from a gamer’s perspective they have even been critical in building trust, interest and a direct relationship with players.  Seen in certain European and US cities, while we love the work we are just a little curious to see if these posters raised any objections.
Of course knowing Rockstar this was probably the intent…
GTA IV out today. Instead of enjoying the marketing - go play the game…
